Hey Jerry, yeah Pall's Mall was a well known stop on the circut. Lotta live record dates done there. No where near as many as the Vangaurd of course, but that's the greatest cultural institution this country has EVER produced. CASE CLOSED! I spent a lot of time in Boston from '83 thru say '99. Worked all the clubs with at least a dozen different bands. Anyone from Jerry Gonzalas and Fort Apache to Joshua Redman. Did Berkeley a couple times with Bu', Jack Dejohnette, Mike Brecker. Randy's a good pal actually. I like Boston a lot, always had big fun there. Worked for Wein a lot here and in Europe. Did a tour over there with Friddie Hubbard and McCoy Tyner in 1990 for Wein. Was a great tour. Last hit was in San Remo (Italian Riviera) opposite Dizzy's latin big band.......WHEW! Sure miss that world, but it aint bad over here. mark....

Square in Boston.  It was by ? Wein, same guy who started the Newport Jazz
Festivals.

[jerry goldsmith] Chico Fernandez plays a great Alto Sax and  ??????
(the guy with Thomas and Thomas,  always in their booth at the every show)
is a also very accomplished.

We have had a couple of discussions about Jazz and the Blues on the list.
Also one on you "what do you listen to while tying."
